Jets Advance to A.F.C. Title Game

Wouldn't be surprised in the least if the Jets knocked off the Colts next week with the way they're playing right now. Although I don't expect the Colts to do themselves in the way the Chargers did. Should still be very entertaining to say the least.

Penguins hold off Red Wings to take third Stanley Cup

Being a big Red Wings fan, that game was hard to swallow, but it was a very well played series, and the Pens deserved it. Hopefully the Wings will be right there again next year.

Also, busted a gut laughing at how nearly everyone at the Joe was booing loudly every time Bettman touched the mic. Priceless.

Apparently the NFL isn't worth broadcasting without Brett Favre around anymore.

Broncos Trade Jay Cutler to Bears for Two First Round Picks and Kyle Orton

Heard that too will, and it's all over ESPN already so I suppose it's a done deal. I don't see it helping the Bears too much. Although obviously Jay's a better QB that Orton, the Bears have no WR's for Jay to throw to, and no offensive line to protect him.

Guess we'll just see how it pans out.

They Still Raise Them Right In Some Places

Agreed, Bo. You would never see this kind of thing in the NBA. Great show of sportsmanship.

Steelers Win Sixth Super Bowl

Regarding Kurt's chances at the HoF, if he never throws another pass, I don't think he gets in. Numbers are huge to get in, and the way I see it, he's only had 4 tremendous seasons (3 with the Rams early, and obviously this year). All 4 of these seasons, he has an amazing arsenal to work with (Holt, Bruce, Faulk, now Fitz, Boldin, and throw in Breaston). The seasons in between these were above average at best. Nothing against Kurt, he's a good QB, but not HoF worthy IMO.

Steelers Win Sixth Super Bowl

Best superbowl I have ever watched. Sure you could make arguments for calls or non-calls, but isn't that the same with just about every game? I think there were questionable calls on both sides of the ball, but for the most part I think the refs called a good game.

The Steelers were just the better team, and the Cards defense looked non-existant on the last TD drive, especially when they had Holmes triple covered in the endzone and they still find a way to get the ball to him.

Only major complaint about this game was that Ben didn't get MVP...not that Holmes played bad or anything...can you co-MVP in the SB?
